No one can read those anymore...


Why? Too "complicated?" Certainly isn't because analog watch faces are too hard to learn. Much easier to glance at an analog watch face and immediately know the time vs. actually having to dig out the phone and then read the time.
 
either but usually my phone. which is sad since it's mostly an excuse to see what notifications i have. the watch is more of an accessory
 
Depends. I wear one of my two nicer watches every working day and generally use those. Watching an automatic smooth ticking second hand is relaxing for the few seconds i look at it. Plus I actually remember the time on the watch, not immediately zone out after checking the phone.
 
I wear a nice watch. This helps complement my business attire and helps me fit in with the older management.

I use my cell phone to tell time.
 
I used to wear a watch but I haven't for about 10 years (use cell phone instead).

However, I'd like to get a decent (up to $300-$350) automatic or solar watch.
 
phone.

can't stand wearing watches, or really anything tight around my wrists... I own a watch, but I only wear it when I have to dress up (weddings, job interviews, etc)
 
Neither. Car has a clock on the dash, computer at work has a clock in the lower right corner. There are clocks all over my house, and at work.
 
32 years working in the semiconductor industry where wearing a watch isn't permitted kind of breaks you of any watch wearing habits. And, since the time on a phone is going to be accurate within 1 second forever there's no way a watch without some way to sync to an atomic clock will be more accurate than a phone that is tied to atomic clocks.

IN addition, I travel a lot and am on the road over 80% of the time so I either have to learn the operation of the alarm clock in each of the many hotels I stay in or I use the alarm features of my phone -- you can guess the answer to that dilemma...
